We celebrated Daddy Day's birthday a few days late. Sara Beth loved "helping" open his gifts...and she especially loved the bow!!
Sunday we had a few pictures taken for our Christmas cards. This is what i got with my camera after the photo shoot...I think the smiles were all gone by the time I got to take my pics.
Mahlon has ALWAYS loved the water. He doesn't care if it gets in his eyes, up his nose, he splashes so much he empties half of the tub every night, and he has always loved laying down on his back in the tub. Well now Sara Beth has discovered "floating" on her back but, she is not a big fan of splashing and does not want water in her eyes...what a princess! Mahlon was laying down and giggling and splashing and I asked Sara Beth if she wanted to lay down too...this is what she did!!
If you ask her to lay down she sticks one ear in and scrunchies her nose and mouth...so cute!
I "helped" her lay down and she LOVED it! She didn't want to get out!
It is so much fun "teaching" the babies new things and watching how excited they get!! What a blessing!
Sunday we had Fall Festival at our church...Madison Heights. Doc and Cheri came up to play and help chase babies! We had so much fun. We went horse back riding, jumped in a mini bounce house, went on a hay ride, ate cookies and cupcakes, watched daddy play flag football...whew what a busy day! They are at the best age! So much fun to play with. Not sure who was more worn out babies, parents or grandparents! 
Watching daddy play flag football! He made a touchdown!
Eatin' a cookie in Cheri's lap!
On our second hayride...2 in one weekend!
We all got to ride a horse! Sara Beth loved it! She talked to the horse the whole time!! Precious! I just wish I could've understood what was coming out of her mouth!
Telling Doc all about the horse.
They loved the "mini" bounce house. Mahlon loved it when the "big" kids came in and bounced him around. Sara Beth has NO FEAR she is the one who started sliding down head first. They both did it over and over and over! 
All of the kids in the neighborhood.
Our sweet punkin's!!!!
We had a blast at our neighborhood Halloween party today! I am not sure who is more tired. The babies or their parents! What a day! We had 2 busy pumpkins. We had a yummy fish fry, a bounce house, a costume contest, a pumpkin carving contest and a hay ride around the neighborhood. We had so much fun but we are TIRED! 
Sweet pumpkins and daddy on their FIRST hayride!!
The babies LOVED the bounce house. They laughed and giggled and fell down and got back up and fell some more. They were too cute!
This is what we would've looked like if we went trick or treating...we were way too tired and already had too much candy! We did go see our next door neighbors.
Our pumpkin won "Most Original" in the contest. Mahlon and Sara Beth help decorate our pumpkin by giving it hair/leaves made out of their handprints! Too cute!
Happy Halloween!!
We had our 15 month check up Thursday. I can't believe our babies are 15 months old! They are growing up way too fast! And boy have they grown. Sara Beth is 25lbs 3oz(she gained 2 lbs from her 12 month visit and is in the 90%) and she is 30 inches tall (50% looks like she didn't get the "extra-tall" genes!) Mahlon is 29lbs 3oz.(almost a 2lb gain from the last visit and he is in the 95%. He is 34 inches tall and again in the 110%. What a big boy!
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?? Mahlon tried to help daddy figure it out! YUMMY!!
I got these cute suds visors for bath time. It is supposed to keep the soap out of the babies eyes...they just think they are fun to chew on!
Cheri and Sara Beth had a big time cruising around the house last week! This is a good shot for those of you that say Sara Beth looks just like her Cheri!
This is what we looked like last Sunday afternoon. The babies had hand, foot, mouth and felt terrible! The only time they weren't crying was if they were sleeping, eating(soft foods only) or if we were holding them. By Sunday night we were whooped and this was our solution. They were as happy as they could be because they were being "held." I felt like I was pregnant again...carrying an extra 25 lbs. on my tummy, not being able to bend or move too quickly! HA! We had about 4 REALLY bad days of fussy babies, but we are healthy now!!
We finally made it to Starkville for a little tailgating! We had such a busy day! Wesley started the day with a race and then we headed up to Starkville! Our first stop was The Grill for a little lunch! So sad it is not the same place that I loved so much when I was there! It was still good though. Then we headed to the junction for tailgating. We saw so many friends from college and tons babies!! 
Aunt Lani bought Sara Beth a "bulldog" Teddy Bear and Mahlon a new MSU hat(he outgrew the other one!!)
Aren't we big!!
Sara Beth got to meet Bully! She wasn't too sure what to think of him, but at least she didn't cry!
The babies were soooo good! We hopped tailgate tents from 12:30-5:30...no afternoon nap for the babies(trust me I tried!!!) This is what they looked like before we left the Starkville city limits!
We didn't stay for the game because it was a night game and the babies had to sleep at some point, but we made it home just in time to see the 100 yard touchdown! Poor bulldogs! They tried!!
Saturday morning Wesley had a chilly start! He ran a 15K at Lake Caroline. He left for the race before me and the babies were even awake! We are so proud of him! This was the longest "running only" race he has done in a LONG time. His goal is a 50K in March! YIKES! I know he'll do great he has the best little cheerleaders to encourage him!
